Who is Mara Mori in Pablo Neruda's "Ode to a Pair of Socks" poem?

Okay, so i've been analyzing this poem for school. And despite all my research, i cannot for the life of me determine who Mara Mori is! Ive even tried other translations of the name, like Maru Mota.
Anyone have any ideas on this? I feel like a direct allusion is being made, but i cannot pinpoint to whom (or what)!

Ode to a Pair of Socks

Maru Mota brought me
a pair
of socks
that she knitted with her
shepherdess hands,
two socks soft
as rabbits.
I put my feet
into them
as into
two
cases
knitted
with threads of
twilight
and sheeps wool.

Wild socks,
my feet were
two wool
fish,
two big sharks
of ultramarine
crossed
by a golden braid,
two giant blackbirds,
two cannons:
my feet
were honored
in this way
by these
heavenly
socks.
They were
so beautiful
that for the first time
my feet seemed to me
unacceptable
like two decrepit firemen, firemen
unworthy
of that embroidered
fire,
of those shining
socks.

Anyway
I resisted
the sharp temptation
to save them
the way schoolboys
keep
lightning bugs,
the way scholars
collect
rare books,
I resisted
the mad impulse
to put them
in a golden
cage
and each day
to feed them birdseed
and the meat of a rosy melon.
Like explorers
in the forest
who give up the finest
young deer
to the roasting spit
and eat it
with regret,
I stretched out
my feet
and put on
the
lovely
socks
and then
my shoes.

And this is
the moral of my ode:
beauty is twice
beautiful
and goodness is doubly
good
when
it concerns two wool
socks
in winter


any comments/suggestions would be much appreciated!

okay, listen up: Neruda wrote under a pseudonym, his real first name was Neftali, a Biblical Hebrew name whose original holder was blessed by his father (Jacob) as "a deer set free"(That's in Gen 49:21). In the poem here the "deer [is given] to the roasting spit"; in this translation it's rendered as "young deer" but in the original Spanish it's literally "green deer." In America green connotes youth and inexperience, but as green is the color of death in Chile it's more likely tobe a punning way for Neruda to say, "deer of death".
Once you've seen that, "Mara Mori" is easier to understand. There's a common saying from old Latin: "momento mori." It means "remember you will die"; in modern bastardized Latin usage that reads as "souvenier of death"; "Mara" is a Hebrew name that means "bitter" (not necessarily in a bad way- bitter herbs, the Bible tells us, are good for you). So "Mara Mori" is "the bitterness of death".

You've got to use- not hide- your knowledge of death to really know the beauty of life, that's one cross-section of the multiple meanings of this poem
